There's Ralph's. Hey, Ralphs. And, well, it's Thornin' The Side Thursday. Oh, goodness me. But that being the case, well, every program here at the Horn begins with gratitude, and this program is no different.

so we say thank you to our 16th day of the month's subscribers and contributors via PayPal. Thank you so much to our dear friend and News Ninja. Thank you. And thank you to Zed in Iowa, thank you, Mark, so very kindly. Thank you all for being partial sponsors of the program and helping to keep the plates spinning on all the sticks here that keep this little independent progressive broadcast operation up and running. Thank you so very much.

The fundraising deficit, well, it's kind of breathtaking. We are past the middle of the month. We're on the downhill side of April. And we have one and six. And we have ten more broadcasts outside of. of this one and our fundraising deficit is $2,500. That means eight days unfunded and one-third of one day. So that's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

Yeah, we're $100 away from fully funded for April of 7th. That's nine days ago. And after that, every day after that, up until this one is also unfunded. So the PayPal buttons over at head-on. Live, I hate to talk about it. You know that. If I ever won the lottery, we could stop this, but, well, I'd have to play first. That's the devil tree of the lottery. But, yeah, or, you know, if some limousine liberal who has never interacted with the program were suddenly to just send us a

cool million well the program would be funded for more than the next 10 years because we operate on the last dry-rodded thread of a sneaker string and have for going on 23 years so what do we got today we got a lot

and oh just a reminder program note of course last night the marvelous Tara Devlin and I she of Tara Buster sat in for Mike Malloy we're doing the same again this evening

we'll do the same tomorrow evening so I hope you enjoy the time that we get to spend with the truth seeker truth seekers around the truth seeker campfire guitars harmonicas tambourines and like

no banjos no banjos the occasional kazoo does show up but where do we begin where do we begin this evening well I guess we can just start off with the password because a raccoon is marsupial isn't it I feel comfortable saying that it is.

I might be wrong. Because, ah, God, we're going to have to add yet another name to whalehead Dead Bear Brainworm Lamprey. That's of the Hianusport Brain Worm Lampreys. Hi, Joy, I'm so glad that makes you giggle. Should we use the German word for a raccoon? Vash bear?

Mm-hmm. Whalehead, dead bear, Vashbear, brainworm, lamprey? Maybe, yeah? The new book, and gosh, see, again, and I know a lot of y'all share the same sense of dismay or, well, creepiness about people

who sit on important information while the nation burns. It's like, oh no, I had a fire extinguished. It's the literary equivalent. I know, no, no. I know the house is nothing but a pile of smoke and ash

and cinders. And you know what? I know. Crazy, isn't it? I had fire extinguisher the whole time. I just, well, I figured I could make more money with my fire extinguisher after the house burnt down.

And so it is with Washington Post journalist Isabel Vincent who since the, well, since at least the last decade and a half, has had whalehead, dead bear,

Vashbear, brainworm, Pri's diaries in her possession and now has a book to flog. Gosh, well, I mean, she does. She does. The book is coming out soon. And I guess that makes me some sort of anti-capitalist or something. but I'm just like, well, I think the patriotic thing is to put one's own lust for cash ahead of, or behind one's love of country.

And this story fits very nicely like a little really smelly, disgusting puzzle piece with the whalehead story and the dead bear story just to review real quick the whalehead story is that and well the DHS secretary's own family has confirmed this they were driving along somewhere near the seashore one day

and saw where a whale had washed up on the beached on the shore. It was dead and smelled like a dead whale. And trust me when I say that dead whale is not a pretty odor. And so that's when the Kennedy kids verified that

daddy pulled the family truckster over, got out the handy family chainsaw and chainsawed off You know, I need to... I'm really taking a run at dinner in the Eastern Daylight Time Zone right now. I had plans for after the program, but they may be... That good ship may have sailed and sunk in the harbor.

He pulled... And took the chainsaw... And... And chainsawed the whales head off and put it in or on the family truckster and went on down the road with it because he wanted to study it for later. Then we all know the dead bear story. He hit a bear and then dumped the bear's carcass in Central Park,

causing a ginormous kerfuffle that cost the citizens of Gotham some unknown but significant amount of money. trying to figure out how a black bear wound up dead in Central Park. Well, now it's a raccoon. And as creepy and gross and repulsive and disgusting as those two stories are, well, it just keeps getting worse. According to Isabel Vincent, and based upon, I guess,

guess Bobby's diaries that Mary Kennedy had given to Isabel or

given to someone who gave to Isabel I'm not quite sure the entire provenance of

this but somewhere on I-684 on a road trip with the family and this is a direct

quote from the diaries can you imagine what might have happened and then again maybe if one was to ask isabel vincent she might say that ah well this wasn't the kind of thing that would have swayed someone like uh senator cassidy

of louisiana stan who could have stopped whalehead dead bear brainworm dead bear bochbear brainworm lampre's nomination in its tracks maybe not Look, the maggot culp will gobble up whatever is in the spoon that nitwit Nero sticks in front of their festering gobs. I once pulled over the family car somewhere on I-684. Where's I-6-84? Anybody want to help? While I was on a road trip because I wanted to remove raccoon's sex organs and study them, later. I was standing

in front of my parked car on I-684, cutting the penis out of a road-killed raccoon, thinking about how weird some of my family members have turned out to be. You're dissecting a decaying, because decay

sets in pretty quickly. You're dissecting a decaying raccoon on the side of the road. because you have a fascination with raccoon bingus, and that makes you think of how strange your other family members are. You okay. This is a man desperately in need of prolonged, profound psychiatric help.

Now, I remember years ago, when West Virginia, our legislature, and its ever so finite wisdom decided that they could help the pores by legalizing the harvesting of roadkill. I tell you, it's been a tough spring here for the little squirrels. I'm seeing them all over there. It just makes me sad. I actually stopped the car and yell out of them and tell them to get out of the road.

It's a bad time for... for the woodland creatures out there, at least around here. I was going down to the settlements for provisions a few nights ago, and there were at least six deer. None of them were showing antlers or anything. It's spring. I would expect to be seeing the little fawns in their precious little spots sometime soon. All kidding aside, I'm a tender-hearted.

soul. I love the little woodland creatures, even the ones that back when I kept gardens. I like to browse them. Because we have a herd. We've got the equivalent of the

deer equivalent of I-64 and it runs through my backyard here at the mansion. Those deer it's April. Things are things are growing and they should have things to, a deer will browse just about anything. Hey, is this tasty? Let's find out.

As they did when they browsed 72 hot pepper plants down to the ground eons ago. I'm still not over it. And that was, hmm, 20 plus years ago. But these deer were pathetic. You could see their ribs. and the fur was falling out in clumps on them. I told myself that, well, maybe, you know, it's April. Maybe that's the transition away from the heavy winter coat to the lighter summer coat.

That's a thing that happens. But we're also beset here in Appalachia by something called chronic wasting disease, which is basically the same prion disorder that forms mad cow. And it's pitiful to see. But I did. I stopped the car. And I rolled the window down. Ladies!

Ladies! Out of the road, ladies. And all but one of them went on across to the hill on the left side of me. While one stood there indecisively, I'd say Hamlet-like, but I don't think it was male. trying to decide whether to go back down the hill, into the gorge, or uphill, where the rest of them had gone. And finally, I said, no, no, really, I'm not kidding.

Go. And she finally went, all right, and crossed in front of it. Because, I do love the little woodland creatures, but it's also because I'm well familiar with, ungulate behavior because no sooner than you start moving, then the deer will go, you know, into your, say, front right quarter panel. And it would make my little Ford match or be more bilaterally symmetrical

because one went hump into the left side of my car earlier. Great. but yeah they're a mess and it's it i hope it wasn't chronic wasting disease but the thing is what i was saying yeah it's okay to harvest roadkill in almost level west by cold trump juneistan and it kind of makes me wonder if while he was down here grifting the mountain and the mountaintop removal abolition movement. I wonder if Bobby ever picked up any dead deer...

I wanted to get that dead deer penis to study later. I don't know. There was an episode of one of Anthony Bourdain's programs where he went to Arkansas and went out hunting raccoons

and then they cooked and ate the said raccoons. raccoon. Poor man. And at the end of it, they gave him the bone that is in the dingus of a raccoon.

I think this was even before that, this business with Bobby Kennedy. He's a sick, sick, very sick man and should probably be in some sort of institutional care, but it's

it's it's it's sort of astonishing when you realize how much and to what degree wealth will play a part in in letting people just loose upon society by now you know my theory that uh that orange julius geiser has been probably to one some degree has had a cognitive deficit and intellectual disability all of his life. I think the same must certainly be true of whalehead, whalehead, dead bear, vosh bear, brainworm, lamprey. Because, and it was confirmed when I saw that old, old video of John F. Kennedy in the White House with his young nephew in there, and there was a goldfish bowl, and little Bobby kept reaching into the goldfish bowl,

trying to grab the goldfish so he could love it and squeeze it and break its little neck. Tell me about the relatives, George. Yeah. RFK's carcass obsession, Brother Deacon Asis says, anyone else think a sick fuck like RFK Jr. who routinely mutilates dead animal carcasses would have no issues in mutilating live ones? What does neuroscience say about animal torturers again?

Yeah, psychopath, isn't it? Any practitioners of mental health out there? That's generally a pretty good giveaway. Uh-huh. And the funny thing is, this creep mutilates dead animals, and in the same breath we'll say that, we're mutilating the bodies of little children who are trans. Which is a lie.

It's just a lie. There's no teenagers out there getting vaginoplasty or falloplasty. They're not. But from Jeremy and Vermont, huh? Say what? What eat it, ha? Removing a rotting penis from a dead raccoon to study. I say cool and eat later, but whatever, weirdo.

Cool, cool. And, yeah, I-684. Thank you, Ralph, serving as the Horn United States Interstate System Research Department. I-684 is runs through the state of New York and just a little bit into Connecticut

thank you Ralphs that helps but I can't I can't make my head I can't wrap my head around it I mean not to be weird or I always I always left the

road kill alone because well decomposing animals pose a risk of disease transmission. Okay, they're not marsupials. Thank you, Lee, serving as the horn ad hoc raccoon taxonomy research department. Procyonidai, meaning to wash.

Ringtail cat and quadi. Probably the red panda. Okay. Thank you. Well, there went that password. Damn it. I hate it when that happens. Yeah, thanks, Jeremy.

The AI-programmed hostess has been mostly on time all week. AI really has this AI programming down to a science. You two juvenile, you three juvenile delinquents, I'm including the Colombian spy too, because he's part of it as well. Behave yourselves. Or I will pull this radio program over on the side of the road right in front of a dead possum. No. Lee noting, and to think. Anyone hearing that voice and saying,

You have to do a podcast? I know. Yeah, he's got a new podcast coming out. He's going to expose the lies that have made American sick. It's going to be called the Secretary Kennedy podcast. And it's just going to be one long anti-vax infomercial. We're going to name the names of the forces that obstruct the paths to public health. Every one of these, Godforsaken stories just makes me somewhere between nausea and just cringe.

What? Christopher. Hi, Christopher. Rocky did it in the road on I-684. I knew there was a missing mystery verse of Rocky Raccoon. Paul wrote involving rotten Bobby Kennedy Jr. poor Rocky Raccoon ran like a loon into the road I-684 Smoshed on the street but who did he meet RFK slapping his flat dingus Rocky said Bob it's only a scratch Bobby said no you've met your match

and cut out his junk and left him to lie on the table There I just wanted to jump in and help a little bit Christopher Sure. From Gino, raccoon, I'm picky, but I'm a biologist. Raccoons are not marsupials. You might be thinking of opossums. I think I probably was thinking of opossums. I love possums.

We used to have watch possums around the house. Unless their little hearts, they've only got a three-year lifespan. And they try so hard to look fierce, but they're not. They're so darn sweet. and if you if you if you if you are befriended by possums around your house guess what you're not going to have ticks yay no lime disease or whatever that creepy ass disease is that makes you unable to eat beef or meat uh-huh thanks gino sweet little possums we'd put out cat food for them and and the stray cats would come over and the possums would come over and curiously enough they got along very well that's what I thought I said.

Asa has the AI down to a science. But this isn't just a Bobby Kennedy as gross opening to the program. No, Bobby Kennedy is also a, and I want to make sure that I provide an accurate description here. God damn liar! As in the truth ain't in him. One of these days, I need to get together with my friends down in the sacrifice zone. and we need to write a book, maybe call it grifted by Bobby, about just what a disgusting POS he was when he was down here writing our hillbilly backs. They had a hearing in the, yeah, he's a goddamn liar, and he's also a goddamn racist.

We found out earlier today in a hearing of the house waiting. means committee. One of the members of that committee is Terry Sewell, a Democrat from Alabama. Alabama has two Democrats in the House now. And she confronted him about a truly odious, disgusting, racist statement he had made about black children. And, and And she gave him a lecture. And by the way, as we listen to this clip, there are periods of silence, and they're strange. Because it's obvious that Representative Sewell doesn't realize her audio isn't going out. I don't know if it was a problem at C-SPAN, but call me curious.

when an African-American woman is speaking taking down a racist and weirdo is that conjunctive or just should it be racist weirdo or is the weirdo just sort of as read and you can't hear what she's saying you'll get it but she confronted him with his own words and this is such a this is such an emblematic

indication of the fundamental nature of this repulsive maladministration. Well, just lie right to your face and tell you that you shouldn't believe you're lying ears. And what he does here is textbook gaslighting, which is interesting, because that's what he did to his wife as he was hounding her into suicide. she was certain that he was out and violating their marriage vows with among others

what's her name, Heinz Cheryl Hines and he would tell her, oh no, no, no, that's all in your mind. And then she found his diaries where he actually rates the women that he has prayed upon. From 1 to 10, 10 meaning

that he had sex with her. Well, this was that. And you know what? I'm just going to stop for a minute and say, you're not going to get this kind of analysis in the multimillionaire for-profit media because it takes a level of personal knowledge that they don't have.

But I do. I'm just saying. So here we are in front of House Ways and Means when this happens. You've made a number of outlandish and frankly disturbing comments both before and during your tenure as Secretary of Health and Human Services. I want to draw your attention to one of those times. In a 2024 broadcast interview, you suggested that Black children on ADHD Medicaid Medicaid... Pay attention. She makes it very clear.

a 2024 podcast interview. In fact, she's got a poster held up behind him with his exact words quoted from the podcast, noting that it happened in July 24 on the 19 Keys podcast, where he had something to say about African-American kids. And it should be noted, just as a reminder, that whalehead, dead bear, Voschbeer, brainworm, lamprey

during COVID, was doing everything he possibly could to kill African-American people in this country, including producing a documentary claiming that somebody, somewhere,

somehow was trying to kill African Americans with a vaccine against a disease that was actively killing African Americans and Americans of all sort. So just no-tabene. You said that podcast interview, you suggested that black children on ADHD medication should be reparented. You said every black kid is now just standardly put on Adderall, SSRI, benzos, which are known to induce violence, and that those children are going to have to go somewhere to get reparented. There is a... Can we just stop for a minute?

Just with that quote alone, he says that Adderall, which is... which his filthy orange daddy snorts in copious rails, at least according to Noel Casler, who should know because he worked with him on The Apprentice, that Adderall and selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors, benzos, which he says are known to induce violence. Isn't it interesting how that?

You know, racists like whalehead, dead bear, vosh bear, brainworm, lamprey, always equate blackness with violence. Mm-hmm. Do please continue, Congresswoman Sewell. Known to induce violence and that those children are going to have to go somewhere to get reparented. There is a lot to unpack in that comment. I know that you've already answered several of the questions I was going to ask, and so I'm just going to rephrase them.

Mr. Secretary, you've already admitted that you are not board-certified physician, and you've already admitted that you did not go to medical school. Have you ever reparented, or parented, I should say, a black child? I don't even know what that phrase means, and I doubt that I've had it. Yes or no answer. Here comes the gas-sliding. I don't even know what that phrase means. Well, maybe you were wasted when you said it when you're hanging out with whoever those dude bros,

and they're almost assuredly dude bros, if anybody wants to look up the 19 Keys podcast, maybe he was whacked out of his mind on drugs of his own. It's hard to say. Because, you know, he does have a history of having a drug problem, you know. I don't even know what that phrase means, and I doubt that I said. I doubt that I said that phrase. No, I'm not going to answer something that I didn't say. You absolutely said it.

I'd like to hear the recording. Classic, classic behavior. I'm no psychologist, but it sounds like the kind of behavior of a, oh, I don't know, a malignant narcissist. confronted with his own words printed in front of his face, I'd like to hear the recording. And that's a bit of a dodge. I may not, I may be wrong, but I don't think you can actually use that sort of recording

in a hearing like this. So they put it in great big letter. so even the maggots can read it? It doesn't make any sense. I don't even know what it means. I don't either. That's why I'm asking. By the way.

So to be clear, you're not a doctor. You have no medical degree and you have no formal medical training. As you have never parented a black child. 24 of the 26 HHS secretaries have not had medical degrees. And she continues speaking to the chair and you can't hear what she said she continues to speak

you cannot hear her I mean this is multiple seconds long she's gesturing she's continuing to speak okay he talks back at her this is I mean I don't mean to be all

ooh wee ooh read the book it's just strange and he's blithering I don't know what I don't know what I'm not either but you said that

I did not say Mr. Secretary for black families of the United States the issue of family separation is not new our nation has a long and painful history of their families during slavery black children

were taken from their parents and soul with no regard for their humanity and after slavery black families continue to face forced separations through Jim Crow laws, discriminatory policing, and child welfare systems that too often assumed that black parents were unfit. Even today, black children are at higher rates than white children.

Yeah, it's apparently a short in the table or something. Not because of their greater harm, but because of longstanding bias. For you to suggest that black families are not capable of raising their own children is deeply offensive. Sir, you are the Secretary of Health and Human Services for the world's most powerful country, and your words matter. When you suggest that reparenting black children, when you so doubt about the safety of vaccines, and when you promote unproven statements that have no basis in science, you endanger the lives of everyone across this nation.

those children have parents and to suggest that they have to be reparented is offensive I never suggested that your words matter when those words are careless communities pay the price when your words are imprecise they create confusion and when your words are dismissive they cause real harm

so you do you don't have the pleasure because of your position to speak first and think later, not in this job and not because of your responsibility. I expect, and the American people expect, that you choose your words. Did you catch that little bit of gaslighting there? I supposedly said this in 2014. The numbers, the word July and 2024 are right there in front of his facts. face.

I don't know. Maybe he's been juicing so much testosterone that it's affecting his vision. I don't think it works that way, but, yeah. Or again, maybe he's just a gaslighting psychopath. Subjecting it to the Sherlock Holmes test, which one seems more likely to be true? Or even giving him a little barber job with Occam's razor. Which one's more likely to be true? The simplest answer.

He's a gas-sliding, malignant, narcissistic psychopath. With sincereness and with seriousness, the seriousness that your position demands. American lives are at stake, and it's time that you start acting like it, sir. Thank you, ma'am. You do your constituents proud, Congresswoman, Sewell. But there we are. classic maggot behavior confronted with their own words

I never said that he learned that at Geezer disgustus' knee sure you've got my own words in front of me but I'm here to tell you I didn't say it and the words themselves to suggest that because a child I mean why is it every black kid

is he saying that black kids shouldn't have behavioral medicine, but white kids should? What happens if you exchange black with white or black with Asian? Every white kid is now just standard put on Adderall, SSRIs, benzos, which are known to induce violence, and those kids are going to have to, are going to have a chance to go,

somewhere and get reparented. White parents all over this country, especially white maggot parents, would have a purple polka dotted fit! But it's okay to say racist filth. If you're a maggot, right? I know. I don't know, says Jeremy, hearing about Bobby's adventures in rotten meat makes me rethink my intake of well, meat. I feel like it's a

and I don't know, maybe I'm getting close. to going vegetarian. The entire meat industry is just so repulsive. But no, Jeremy, I understand.

Yeah, thank you, Lee. The Holmes quote, once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth. Mm-hmm. I liked it best when Spock said it. There's our obligatory Star Trek reference for the evening. But in

2024, to have the audacity to say, that black kids should be taken away from their loving parents because the parents followed the recommendations of a licensed physician I mean you should have just shown up in a goddamn clan robe, shouldn't he?

How is this not just 200-proof eugenics? Well, the easy answer is it is eugenics. These medications, it goes without saying, have a real purpose. And yes, real benefits. They can make the difference between a meaningful life and a life of chaos and disruption. It's not just wrong.

It's wicked because it is driven by a wicked mentality. And so the very least, and it's all she can do, Congresswoman Sewell, is to call him out for the racist that he is and establish a record. Because as we've noted in the past in conversation, we've got a lot to do if we can take this Congress back. I feel like every committee is going to have to consider an impeachment resolution. as Representative Yasmin Ansari of Arizona proved with her articles of impeachment against Whiskey Pete Kegbreath, who it should be remembered, did chin-ups, pull-ups with whalehead dead bear, Vash Bear, brainworm, lamprey in an airport? Well, he needs to be impeached. Kennedy needs to be impeached.

Can you impeach an acting attorney general? Because Todd Blanchie needs to be impeached. The whole damn cabinet just about. Because there's nothing there but evil. Just evil. And apparently, Orange Julius Geezer has put a shot against shot across

whalehead dead bear Boschbear brain worm lampreys bow by nominating of all people Dr. Erica Schwartz who at one point in time was a deputy surgeon general and a firm

advocate of vaccines to lead the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The New York Times and its infinite wisdom said that this is a clear sign that the White House is trying to get away from being so closely associated with the guy who cuts out raccoon dingai or dingusis is I don't know

he announced the nomination earlier today on social media Dr. Schwartz is a naval officer oh wait a minute I know what's going on here hold the phone she's a naval officer so he's going to make her head of the CDC to get one more woman out of the military and thereby

you know make Whiskey Pete happy my goodness gracious she's degreed in biomedical engineering in medicine in public health and law talk about a total package during the COVID pandemic she ran the COVID-19

testing program and oh here's the kicker she's black maybe he's maybe he's nominating her so she'll be confirmed and then he can turn around and fire her you know for being black and female Dr. Brett Girwa who was her former boss back during the pandemic

said ah she's really wicked smart and is not subject to rumored conspiracy theories I saw wicked smart and I immediately had to do my cheesy Boston accent. Sorry, Kevin. I'm very pleased

that a person with her experienced credentials and dedication to public health and prevention is a candidate for this position. It's worth noting that the CDC has gone without a permanent leadership, a permanent director,

ever since January the 20th 2025. The first nominee was an anti-vaxxer and once the director was confirmed. Well, whalehead dead bear, Bosch Bear, brainworm

Lamprey, fired Susan Minara's. Again, over vaccines. Gracious. Where else? Well, let's see.

Yeah, let's go there. Because testicle toasting, Tuckio-Rose-Carlson, masculine man-manliness, decided to go all Bible on Nitwit Nero.

This is fun. Oh, where'd it go? I'll get there in a minute. Oh, there it is. There it is. There is. Yeah, there shall be wars and rumors of wars. And I'm calling it Jesus Gate now. That stupid little meme. Tuckio Rose is apparently

a better Bible scholar than Paula White of Donald Trump. This is not a criticism. They're legit funny. Social. Retweeting somebody else. And it's him, Donald Trump, being, I don't know, how would you describe that?

Caressed by? Healed by? Maybe endorsed by Jesus. That's unmistakably Jesus, the Christian Messiah. The man god at the center of Christianity. with his arm around Donald Trump, basically saying, you go Trump. I'm on your side. So all of that in a little over a week. What does it mean? Because it certainly means something. Oh, tell us, Tuckio Rose. A couple of memes, these are these are icons as iconography.

These are attempts to send a statement about faith. What statement is the president sending? Well, not a coherent one doesn't actually add up to a theology. It's mockery. He's mocking Jesus. He's making fun of Christianity. The central figure of the religion is being held up for mockery. Of course. And his description of how this got out is itself mockery, mockery of the idea of truth. One day he says, yeah, I did it. Next day he says, no, I didn't do it. Both are on video. That's not really a lie. It's more than lie is bigger than a lie. It's an attack not just on a specific set of facts. It's an attack on the idea that there are facts. It's an attack on truth openly. No one's hiding this. So this was kind of dismissed after a online kerfuffle for a few hours and people are outraged and then they weren't.

And we've got other things to worry about they moved on. But for sincere religious people, for Christians, who care about Jesus and what's true and what's not. A lot of them went to their Bibles to try and figure out what are we watching here. And a lot of them came up with a couple of verses that seemed to fit what we're watching. And if you are a sincere Christian or know some, maybe you got these texted to you, but we'll read them just so you know how a lot of people of faith were interpreting this. the first is from Paul's second letter to the Thessalonians, the church is Thessalonica. Chapter 2, a very well-known verse in which he's describing what's going to happen when Jesus comes back.

And he says, you're going to hear that Jesus is coming back. Don't believe what you hear. A bunch of things have to happen before he returns to Earth, redeems the world. History ends. And you'll know that he's coming by these events. and among them will be the rise of a figure he describes as the man of lawlessness, sometimes describes as the Antichrist, but the man of lawlessness is the phrase from his second letter to the Thessalonians.

And he says this, there will be a great rebellion against God led by that man of lawlessness. This man, quote, will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshipped so that he sets himself up in God's temple, proclaiming himself. self to be God. He will pose as God. Now this is all interesting and stuff, but it might be worthwhile to note the era in which Paul, whose real name was Saul, but he had to take it on the lamb, the era in which he lived.

Because Paul is also credited with having said, slaves obey your masters as Christians obey Christ. Okay? Well, at that point in time, the Jesus cult, and I don't mean that as a pejorative, it was a cult at the time, the Jesus cult was beginning to catch the attention of the authoritize Rome. Oh, she's back in Rome again. And Paul was trying to keep the heat, not just, he was okay with the heat being on him

because he had a martyr complex. Because Paul felt like, Paul didn't give a fig about whatever Jesus taught or how he lived. For Paul, what was important was getting murdered murdered by the state on the cross

martyrdom Paul doesn't really have a lot to say about the things that Jesus taught but he's absolutely obsessed with how Jesus died and so by the time he's if in fact Paul did

write second Thessalonians if you have any interest in biblical textual criticism There's a book, I think the title of it is, in the name of Paul. And it was written by a brilliant scholar named Bart Ehrman. Down at, he had like an endowed chair in the religion department at the University of North Carolina. It's well worth the read just to put everything in context

and understand the nature of literary creation in that era. But if, in fact, he did write Second Thessalonians, and something's telling me that that's one of those pseudopause, the man of lawlessness he's talking about is actually one of the Caesars at Rome, as is most of the wild psychotic ramblings of the Book of Revelation. Now, for a lot of people, this doesn't matter a damn bit. But I would argue that it does matter in context. because this country has been captured is in the grips of people who believe this on a sort of a pick-and-chews basis

and are using that basis as the reason to wreck this country and try to turn it into every bit as much of a theocracy as is Iran. Just by example, you know, for years we've heard the maggots, the teabaggers, the Republicans, barking and grunting and hooting about, Sharia, lo! And, of course, they always point to the beekeeper suits and whatnot over in Muslim countries.

Well, I think I mentioned that there is a bill being considered in the legislature over in the Buckeye state that will police how people dress. It is nominally pointed at drag queens, have a rape performers, et cetera. But it also goes on to talk about people who wear the clothing of the opposite gender. And clothing isn't gendered. But the clear intent of the Ohio legislature, and by the way, two of the sponsors of that bill are sexual predators, it will be, just surely by function of statistics,

It will be used to harm cis people far more than it will be used against drag queens who are not the same as trans people and trans people. And how law enforcement will go about assessing the gender of a t-shirt is beyond me or a pair of jeans or shorts or bib overalls. So it's all done by these maggots Under the guise of restoring family values And if you look at it, it's kind of difficult to see where Sharia law ends And good God fear and upstanding Bible believe in Christ-centered evil, Jellicle, gun, gun,amentalist, ammo, sexual Christian maggots. Or begins.

Or begins. I'm not sure. I messed that up. Jeremy says, wait a fake minute. You're trying to claim the four horsemen of the apocalypse aren't real? So far we have three. Donnie, Heggseth, and R.F.K. Jr. Now there's a fun thought. Imagine nitwit narrow trying to get on a horse. First of all, it would take a Persheron or a Clydesdale the very least.

Ain't no way you're going to, ain't no way some American quarter horse is going to be able to withstand that heft. No. And, uh, going all Bible on nitwit narrow, Lee in New York says,

uh, yeah, me and my two Corinthians here are going to teach him a lesson. It'll be a Sunday school lesson. He won't soon forget. I was told, to use that, I was told to use that voice. Thank you, Lee. There's another one for your mantle.

He will mock other gods and put himself in their place. That's from the second letter to the Thessalonians. But that's not the first place in the Bible, Old and New Testaments, where something like this is described. Variations of this are in a number of prophecies in what Christians call the Old Testament, including those contained in the book of Daniel. The prophet Daniel described something very much like this at the end of history. And he's describing this period, really as so often described in the prophets, as punishment. And again, we need a little context here. Most of us have heard of Daniel in the Lions Den.

Who owned the Lions Den? Yes, yes, yes. That would be Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, and this was during the Babylonian captivity. and, well, suffice to say that Nebuchadnezzar doesn't get a whole lot of good notice in Daniel or other books of that basic era. You know, it was Nebuchadnezzar who was having a feast and the unseen hand showed up and scrawled many, many, take a lufarsen on the wall, and that flipped out Nebuchadnezzar. and the next thing you know nebuchadnezzar is crazier in the march hair nuttier than a fruit cake and more wasted than a sprayed roach and i think uh the bible says that he uh tore off his clothes and ran naked in the woods and lived as a wild beast because he had pissed off the great big juvenile delinquent in the sky Yeah. So once again, these ancient authors, without naming names, had to provide descriptions that could be understood contemporaneously as naming the bad guy.

Uh-huh. Well, it's so nice to be able to talk to it. to be able to engage in these conversations with people who don't treat this kind of stuff as something particularly special. This sort of thing runs commonly through what little bit of literature we have from the Bronze and Early Iron Age. But you were saying testicle toasting, Tuckio Rose, punishment for faithlessness and sin. God's people are being punished for not following God. And that punishment, he describes in part in chapter 11 from the book of Daniel, predicts the coming of a king, and we're quoting now,

a king who will do as he pleases, he will exalt and magnify himself above every God and will say unheard of things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of wrath is completed, for what has been determined must take place. It's all ordained, in other words, preordained. He will show no regard for the gods of his ancestors, nor will he regard any God, but will exalt himself above them all. So to a lot of Christians or people who know the Bible well and believe in it, these predictions in both the Old and the New Testament, and there are others, seem to fit where we were watching. Here's a leader who's mocking the gods of his ancestors, mocking the God of Gods.

Yeah, that god of gods is always problematic too Because that implies that there are other gods who are equally real And that's a thread that runs through Everything from Genesis forward Oh no, those aren't the real gods This one, this great big bearded juvenile delinquent in the sky That's the real god Uh-huh

But this is also the art I mean, I'm not necessarily taking issue with what Tuckio Rose here is saying. Mitwit Niro is, and it's not so much he's mocking God, you can't mock something that doesn't exist. I mean, that's like mocking Michelangelo's David. Huh, God, yeah. Not exactly a porn star there that David. Right. he's mocking the people who believe in this

because nitwitnero doesn't believe in it two corinthians i mean he said that lee was joking about it but you know julius geyser said that because someone asked him what's your favorite book in the bible and just off the cuff he said two corinthians walk into a bar the first corinthian says to the second corinthian

how do we get to Carnegie Hall? The 2nd Corinthians says practice, practice. And by the way, Micah says, turns out it was a mistranslation. It wasn't the four horsemen. It was the four horses' asses. Uh-huh. But he's always mocked

the people who who have adored him with the greatest amount of veneration and dedication. And exulting himself above them. Could this be the Antichrist? Well, who knows? At least that's my conclusion. Who knows? We're also told repeatedly in the New Testament that you're not going to know that Jesus will return like a thief in the night and you better be ready because you can't predict it. I mean, Paul was sure that Jesus was just, it ate dumb. He just went out for ice cream. He's going to be back any minute now.

that's why he blathers on crap about it's better not to have sexy time at all but if you got to have sexy time at least get married which is interesting because it's the same thing we meant this is probably one of the few if only programs where the alvagenzians get brought up from time to time that's what the alvagenzians believed and the shakers later to not have sex and create more children and therefore more people who will die and more suffering

but if you got to do it please get married and they got genocided by the Pope at Rome for their troubles for just putting into practice what Saul Paul had said to do

so exhausting Why do we take the advice of people who didn't understand why it rains? Why do we take the advice of people who didn't even know where diseases come from? Or at one point in time where babies came from? Can you imagine how much more developed we would be as a civilization if we weren't letting Bronze Age wisdom determine the here and now? Yeah? but we're also told there are signs and is this one of them well again

how is he missing out on the one big sign the sign of the beast and since i'm actually putting time into that this uh... oh all right fair enough lee in new york michael angelo's david was not a porn star oh how many davids do you know that have been that have been hard that long well the marble ones

It's very, you know, given perspective, the hands are very big. Not so much elsewhere. Okay, I am not enough of a Bible scholar to just do chapter and verse on this kind of angels dancing on the head of a pen business. Let's see, beast, Bible. Wound. Yeah, there it is. Revelation 133. And I saw that one of his heads was, as it were, wounded to death,

and his deadly wound was healed, and all the world wondered after the beast. Come on, Tuckio Rose, you're playing theologian, buddy. How about a little Revelation 13-3? Shot in the head and gets up and shows and raises, and raises a fist to the air as his ear bleeds, and all the world wondered after the beast. Or the fact that he rides around in an up-armored limousine that is, what's the name?

The beast, yes, the beast. Another version says, the whole earth was amazed and followed the beast. How many maggot weirdos have said, and particularly the gospel sharps. Oh, God's hand was upon you and God, God saved you. I mean, he's made bank on the very idea. Unclear.

This, by the way, fits the behavior of other leaders throughout history who saw themselves in a kind of rivalry with the gods of their people and sought to put themselves over those gods, exalt themselves above God. That's actually pretty common. That is really the definition of megalomania. Then there's Jay Robert Oppenheimer, who upon seeing the mushroom cloud,

is said to have uttered those words from what, the Bhagavad Gita, behold, I am become death, the destroyer of worlds. And it's happened before. And will doubtless happen again. But that's clearly what, this is. This is mockery of God by a temporal leader by a...

That's where he's wrong. It's mockery of the followers of that God. Man, this is the leader of our country saying, I will take no instruction from God. So if when that glorious

day arrives, do you suppose these Christians will say, well, he had to go. You know, says right there in that Bronze Age book, God is not mocked. Of course not. Of course not.

Because, as he showed in the first meme, I am God. Okay. So that kind of raises the question. Is that okay? Seems to be okay. There were no massive protests in front of the White House. I mean, he's right in that regard.

this is But, you know, even a Stopped clock, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. From Brother Deacon Asa, the camel cardinal says, one, re, cuckie-tucky. One, these maggot podcasters go off on a contrarian rant In order to capture some of the suckers from the other end of the audience spectrum.

Rogaine does the same thing routinely. They'll always return to their own vomit. Read that chapter in verse too. you bow-tied bitch. Uh-huh. The Camel Cardinal's speaking to Tuckio Rose. I don't. Wait, I think I do still own a couple of bow-ties.

I've been trying to figure out a way to repurpose them. And two, cuckie-tucky, dear, we've been screaming on this side for at least 11 years. Dormagot King is the Antichrist. Tis new to thee. Camel Cardinal, I feel like that tis new to thee business. That sounds downright Shakespearean, and not just because you said tis. There's something tis new to thee.

Oh, what a brave new world that has such people in it. That's from the tempest. And that's true. Marble's just sandstone. It's been put under pressure for a long period of time, but it sure does make it pretty, Randy Radar. And the camel cardinal also noting with regard to the nomination of Wicked Snot

Dr. Schwartz. Wait a minute. Dr. Schwartz is black. Has Julius Sleezer seen a picture? Or is he going strictly by the fact that the thing sounds like Schwarzenaga? I got an A. Blinken what says he'll withdraw the nomination as soon as he sees a picture.

You may not you may not lose that fin. No. And meanwhile, Let's run over to the stress line for a second. We are approaching the halfway point of the program. Actually, I'm going to have to knock off an hour early this evening reasons.

No, I found a... At the lion of food, I found a pork shoulder that I've got to get worked up this evening so it can rest and then go on the smoker first thing in the morning. Need me some barbecue. Not as pretty as quartz, Randy Radar says. It depends on how you feel about it. I've got some quartz crystals here. Not because I'm into crystals.

They were a gift to me when I was in the hospital. But by virtue of its crystal and structure, it's harder to work with quartz, like make a 20-foot tall statue of an Old Testament little boy. It's harder to do that with quartz. But rose quartz is very pretty. SIO2, silicon dioxide. From Balmer Bob, two Corinthians, two Corinthians walk into a bar,

they order a beer, then stare glumly in silence. Finally, the bartender can't take it anymore. We don't see many Corinthians in here, says the bartender. The Corinthians replied, at these prices you won't see any more either. That's a variation on the horse walks into a bar joke. Bartender says, why the long face? Horse orders a martini.

Bartender assumes the horse is stupid. Charges him $1,000 for that martini. Bartender comes back over and the horse says, you know, we don't get a lot of horses in here, and the horse says, well, at $1,000 a martini. I'm not surprised. And criticism. Nicknames from Georgian Korsko.

I love your take on politics and stuff. I appreciate your knowledge and your experiences in the law and journalism. I enjoy your take on culture and current events. However, I'm having a hard time listening to your podcast because of the use of these ridiculously long nicknames you've created for maggots and such. It takes away from the flow of your presentation. Thank you for your consideration of this matter. No need to. Well, okay, it's too late for you.

Yeah. Thanks, George. Well, I do that because it is a long tradition in storytelling. go read the Iliad, for instance, or the Odyssey. You'll find the same nicknames used over and over and over again.

It's a tool for getting people to, for helping people to place a character. And also, it's a means by which I can manifest the profound degree of disrespect I have for the people to whom I give these nicknames.

Thanks, George. Appreciate it. They're not going away. Robblamat, Dingong, from Billable Rick for the Camel Cardinal. Take that, you bow-tied bitch. I agree. So we've got testicle toasting, Tuckio Rose. and from that a less theological approach oh wait before I go there to the stress line hey welcome to the program

so first you have ASS say take that and then you have billable repeat and say take that you bow-tied bitch who's he talking to exactly he didn't really specify kind of like you and Chris last week that would be that would be Tuckio Rose it's a contextual thing because Tuckio Rose it's pretty close that time Tuckio Rose

you know, wore those annoying bow ties for all those years on Crossfire on this is CNN. I know. I'm just doing what I do. I'm taking their words out of context. I'm using against them. I know. I know. I want to revisit

Juvenile delinquent. Yes. You defused it nice. You defused it nicely. You turned it right back around. So congratulations. I want to revisit some pure stupidity from last night. You mentioned this several times, but every time I hear it, I feel mine get numb,

and I kind of almost lose conscience from the peers just stupidity of it. Imagine what it does to me. That's the fact that Trump keeps talking, like you said this many times, so I'm sure you know the story too. Trump keeps talking about his fever dream to rehabilitate.

He's trying to get like what this. Alcatraz into a max risk of. Again, I'm almost in a loss of words because in no way Elcatraz closed, it'll fail again. It's the salt water, constantly basky against the rocks. It gets into everything.

It rogues the metal. overtime salt water destroys concrete. Even if you can't see it destroying it, it's partly why those three guys may have escaped in the 60s, because it was so crude and so broken down, but the saltwater just in the air being absorbed. It made it soft. It's not a viable choice.

Yeah, sure. I mean, consider where I live, Jeremy. Apart from coal, most of the mountains here are sandstone. and it just so happens that the second oldest river on earth has flowed through this area and at one point in time I guess it was up at the surface level and maybe 350 million years ago you could you could walk across the new river and no mountainer but now it's just 900 feet that's what water does to rock it's sort of a geologic rock paper scissors thousand years ago, I'd be under 200 feet of water right in on the salt seas, so I get it.

Yeah, but no, the Alcatraz, look, it's great as a tourist attraction. Yeah, and the occasional, Yeah, the occasional set for an action movie. But it's not, it's not, yeah, it's not, it's not fit for incarceration, and it, it's not, it's not, it's not fit for incarceration. and you know what it goes to you know what it goes to nitwit Nero as a child watching Bugs Bunny because there's that there's that one short where Elmer Fudd and Bugs Bunny wind up swapping rolls and Bugs gets hypnotized until he says my name is Elma J. Fudd, millionaire, I own a mansion and a yacht. And then the tax people come after him.

and Elmer Fudd, meanwhile, who owned the mansion and the yacht, has a bunny suit on, and he hops away and says, I may be a squeambit, but at least I ain't going to Alcatwas. I swear there really are the temporal antecedents for the stupidity of this man. You talk about arrested development. I think that's what most of his, I think that's what most of his psyche is. It's why he's so not okay. I can't think what the island is called, but I believe it's in the South China Sea.

It's fairly famous. It's been used for filming several films over the years. It's basically an island which is concrete. There's very little vegetation on it. And I believe it was populated World War II-ish. It was abandoned. And because it's not constantly maintained, not because the vegetation took over, the saltwater has crummeled all the buildings.

The walls are gone. glasses all out. I think it's used as a vassar film place, but it's a fairly famous island full of tall, tall buildings. But again, the salt water destroys everything eventually. And the fact that he can't wrap his mind around this because it's something he probably saw escape from Alcatraz as a kid or in the 60s and he's fascinated over it.

That's why he thinks it's such a strong place. It makes him look strong to say, let's rebuild Alcatraz as a maximum security prison for probably mostly black people. or people have darker skin color. Or as an, if you think about it, he's probably considering it as yet another concentration camp for the ice goons. I was about to say, or ice, yes.

Same idea, though, because most of them don't look like us wrong. Literally don't look like us. Yeah. That's pretty much it. I just found stupidity and character. beat me to it yesterday. He really called it early. He really slapped me around, so I want to talk with that yesterday, but that's all I really

had, just a profound stupidity of that statement. Every time I hear it, like I said, it makes my mindful of them like I'm getting stupid hearing you say it. I know, and it's one of the hazards of this program. That plus the ruination of any number of meals through the day. Okay, well, talk to you.

You have a good evening and a good shift, Jeremy. you take care thank you bye thank you thank you thank you very jeremy in Vermont

one of the triumvirate of juvenile delinquents who are ever in the background along with Brother Deacon Asa and the Colombian spy from Lee in New York Alcatraz and it's a stone's throw

from Starfleet Academy okay and this does not segue well with the previous theological theological discussion but well my goodness gracious how do you how do you how do you

how do you avoid something like this um i'd like for us to go back to those long gone days of yesteryear when a certain congresswoman from colorado uh we'll call her uh handy smurf was caught Stone to the bejesus belt in a theater in Denver with a date

the date also being the proprietor of a bar that hosted drag shows this all just context and what was it it was the stage version

of Beetlejuice and Congresswoman Handy Smurf, well, there's a reason we call her Handy. Well, now with the scandals erupting around Tony Gonzalez and Eric Swalwell, Lorlor is perplexed by the world in which she finds herself.

And she has a very simple question. Yeah, go to church. Find Jesus. Like, I mean, why is everybody so horny here? I don't know. Why were you used? Well, maybe it was the extra, ultra-strong Colorado legal weed. Why were you so horny in the theater there, Handy Smurf?

I love the delightful lack of awareness present. with people like her. And I will never forget. Walking across the Capitol Plaza and seeing her. Hey, Lorlor! Oh, hi! Go to church, find Jesus. Yeah, throw out your TV.

Try to find, eat a lot of peaches. Try to find Jesus on your own. Thanks, Lorlau. Much of bleach. there. And today in Trump tantrums, and yet by the way, we're a little

way away from seven. Like I said, I have to knock off a little bit early. But we now know because we're, the country's sort of obsessed with Jesus Gate and how this AI image came to be.

And we know that it started out with that internet troll named Nick Adams. Well, now we know a little bit more about the journey that that AI image made. It turns out the housing finance chief, and this guy's a piece of work, you can look him up. Bill Pulte, P-U-L-T-E, showed it to his Orange Daddy over the weekend at Mar-A-L-L-A-B before, you know, Orthodox Easter when he posted it. It's unknown as to whether Pulte sent it to him or whether he just showed it to him on his own phone.

According to Axios, it was Easter Sunday for Eastern Orthodox Christians. The Sunday before on Easter Sunday for Catholic and Protestant Christians, Trump had posted a vulgarity-laced threat to destroy Iran's infrastructure that ended with praise-be to Allah. Hours before posting the meme Sunday, Trump lashed. out at Pope Leo the 14th over the Pope's criticism of war, calling the pontiff, Weak on crime and terrible... Week on crime and terrible war and posy.

And said that Papa Leone, having heard it in Italian, I can't get the Billy Joel song out of my mind. I'm sorry. Left a note on the door. He said, Sonny, move out, go out to the country. But no, he said that Leo, that caters to the radical left. That's just a further indication that there's no real conservative Jesus out there. That's part of the reason that the state had him murdered.

Yeah. But like I said, Pulte's a piece of work, and the question arises, why was Pulte looking at an AI image posted by Nick Adams in February up in the April. There's still a missing link. Oh, there's a missing link all right. Pulte, who is 37 years old,

is said to be one of the people, the architects behind the judicial attack on, among others, Letitia James. So eventually we'll get to the bottom of all of this if it's worth, you know, as it, is it really worth the effort? I don't know.

But since we're one day past the, well, prayer meeting Wednesday, but it's worth noting that the Catholic bishops have come after the J.D. Egg, with Jimmy Dick Bowman having warned the Pope. Who is he? Who does he think he is? Henry the second, will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest? Melody Thomas Beckett

saying that Pope Leo needed to be careful in doing his job as the head of the Roman Catholic Church. Well, the bishops came for the J.D. Egg saying, for over

a thousand years, the Catholic Church has taught just war theory, and it is that long tradition the Holy Father carefully references in his comments on war. The author of all of this was Bishop James Mossa, chairman of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops Committee on Doctrine. A constant tenet of that thousand-year tradition is a nation can only legitimately take up

the sword in self-defense once all peace efforts have failed. That is, to be a just war, it must be a defense against another who actively wages war, which is what the Holy Father actually said. He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war. And being a good bishop, he cited chapter and verse. Catechism of the Catholic Church, number 2,308. Meanwhile, the fake hillbilly said, Well, I'd like to debate, Pope.

Jimmy Dick's been a Catholic for all of seven years, tops. like I said the other night talking about all this he's got all the zeal of a recent convert or the zeal of a former smoker and he's dumb Jimmy Dick is dumb How can you say that God was never on the side of those who wield the sword He didn't say that

Was God on the side of the Americans who liberated France from the Nazis Was God on the side of the Americans who liberated Holocaust camps Was God on the side of America when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Was God on the side of the Americans when the Japanese attacked the Alamo? That's the whole point. A constant tenet of that thousand-year tradition

as a nation can only legitimately take up the sword in self-defense once all peace efforts have failed. In self-defense. There's no self-defense here, but I'm sure that the truth ain't in them. These god-forsaken men, well, I mean, Nero said, It was three days away from having a nuke.

But the thing is, if you go back and, because, you know, there's an archive, check in with Psycho Beebe. He's been saying for 30 years that Iran is three days away or three weeks away from having a nuke. It has never, not even once, been even remotely true. And it's not just the Catholic bishops. it's a famous priest as well. Father James Martin, who has done considerable good work. I think he's worked in Appalachia even. And this isn't the first time that he's tried to straighten out Jimmy Dick

on his misunderstood theology. You get the idea that Jimmy Dick really is one of those weirdos, Catholics like Mel Gibson who thinks that Vatican 2 was a huge mistake because it let priests deliver the mass in the common tongue of whatever country we're talking about.

And Martin said, yeah, he really said the Pope needs to be careful and continued. Yesterday, Vice President J.D. Vance criticized Pope Leo the 14th for not knowing enough theology. I think it's very, very important for the

Pope to be careful when he talks about matters of theology. If you're going to opine on matters of theology, you've got to be careful. You've got to make sure it's anchored in the truth. He actually said that at that toilet paper USA conference that I mentioned where Erica Kukakakakak, said, well, I'm sorry, I couldn't show up because, well, I take my security team's advice about threats very seriously. and Candio burned him to the ground, or her to the ground. Sorry, Eric, I didn't mean to misgender you, honey. Candio is saying, you know, J.D. Vance was there.

He's the vice president of the United States, and his security team has more heft, shall we say, than your fellas. If it was safe for him to be there, it was safe for you to be there. But the ticket sales blew. She didn't show up because the grift wasn't big enough. So Father James Martin, referring to that event, said one of the many, many ironies about that statement is that it came in response to Pope Leo's comments about war and peace, and specifically the concept of just war, which originated with St. Augustine. As many have already noted, when the vice president was making his comments, Pope Leo the 14th, a member of the Augustine,

order. And twice prior general of the Augustinians before his election as Pope was visiting the hometown of St. Augustine, then called Hippo, now Anaba, a town in modern day Algeria. For good measure. When you talk about INRI, I'm nailed right in. Father Martin didn't just nail him right in. He countersunk it. For good measure, Pope Leo,

the 14th, the man critiqued for insufficient theological education, earned not only a master's degree in divinity, but also a licentiate and a doctorate in canon law from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome. J.D. Vance's recent conversion to Catholicism is beside the point, because many converts are, of course, not only highly intelligent and learned in theology, but faithful and energetic Catholics. We rejoice over everyone entering the church.

And by the way, Father Martin is a Jesuit. He's one of the really smart ones. What most of us do not rejoice over, however, is a deadly combination of inaccuracy and hubris. Oh, please let it be hubris! Please let it be hubris! Please let it be hubris! Because we all know the meaning of hubris.

It is a tragic and fatal flaw. But Father Martin wasn't done. No, the Padre, having counter-sunk the nail, then went ahead and got his Dremel and drilled it out so nobody could get it out later. Pake, Vice President, advanced, but the current war in Iran is not a just war under Catholic doctrine. You can hear that from church leaders from across the theological spectrum, from Archbishop Timothy Brolio, the head of the military Vicariat and former head of the USCB, to Cardinal Robert McElroy, Archbishop of Washington,

who holds doctorates in both theology and political science. You can look all that up online. Yeah, JD, maybe call the tiger mom. Oh, wait. Suffice to say the vice president, she and her husband hosted sex parties. Maybe don't. Suffice to say, the vice president doesn't seem to understand

the tenets of just war, nor does he seem to understand the fundamental position of the church, which is for peace. War is always a defeat for humanity, St. John Paul II said. If that authority isn't enough, then turn to Jesus who said,

Blessed are the peacemakers, not blessed are the warmongers. Ooh, he called him a warmonger. How? That's going to leave a mark. And after the resurrection, the risen Christ says to the frightened disciples, not vengeance is mine, but peace be with you.

This was, well, you know how it is with Jesuits. They want to make sure you have a complete understanding. of their teaching. Don't want anybody walking away from the lecture halls with any false doctrine

or misgivings or anything. Oh, no. Incidentally, the day before, the vice president said that the Pope and the Vatican should stick to teaching about morality, also seeming to forget that war and peace are profoundly moral issues. Yeah, that's, that, and I don't know if Father Martin

thought about this or not, but that's the functional equivalent of the asshole magazine. who look at usually African-American athletes who voice an opinion on an issue of the day and say something like, shut up and dribble. It wasn't that directed at what? Oh, who?

I feel like it was LeBron James. And it was some idiot, maggot woman. Incidentally, Father Martin continued, drilling down. incidentally, the day before the vice president said that the Pope and the Vatican should stick to teaching about morality, also seeming to forget that war and peace are profoundly moral issues. I read that part. For his part, Pope Leo was focused yesterday on his spiritual father, St. Augustine. After what seemed like an emotional visit to Hippo, he celebrated mass at the Basilica of St. Augustine in Anaba.

During his homily, he said, the primary task of pastors as ministers of the gospel is therefore to bear witness to God before the world with one heart and one soul, not permitting our concerns to lead us astray through fear nor trends to undermine us through compromise. Amen! Let's all continue to pray for the Holy Father as he works for peace. Because God knows no one in this maladministration is. Thank you, Bill. Yeah, it was LeBron James. James Billable tells me, shut up and dribble.

Yeah, there's nowhere in the Gospels, and, you know, when I'm wandering around in the New Testament, I mostly limit myself to Matthew Mark and Luke, and the book that didn't quite make the cut, the Gospel of Thomas, which shares a common source with Matthew Mark and Luke. and you know Jesus never says take up thy sword and follow me he says take up the cross and follow me

but everything it seems with these these monsters has a historical antecedent and in this current controversy I can't help recalling the run up to dim leaders

war against the innocent people of Iraq and just as an aside you'd think there might be a lesson there we didn't it was not a cakewalk Iraq we faced opposition they didn't just roll over and that was and of course there were weeks and weeks and weeks of oh Saddam Hussein's elite Republican guard

well, they've bloodied us up real good. And Iran is not going to be Iraq if they decide that they want to go in. I'm sure the Pentagon already has plans. You know, overwhelming force and massive focused violence in the language of the Pentagon. Iran is by no means Iraq. Because among other things, we had already destroyed a big chunk of the Iraqi army. in Bush War I thought

but no historical antecedents I remember when virtually every denomination in the Christian denomination in the world condemned the very idea

of an offensive war against Saddam in fact the president of the United States at that time dumb you his membership was in

the United Methodist Church and the United Methodist Church said in no uncertain terms the war against Iraq will be an unchristian war and adopted that same because Protestantism is just a veneer over Roman Catholicism they didn't start

you know Martin Luther didn't start from scratch he wanted to get the corruption out of the church but he was okay with most of the theology. And the same with the other early Protestant leaders, many of whom were murdered by the church.

No. And so the United Methodists had no problem pointing to Augustine and his just war theory, which is just common sense if you get right down to it. You don't run around making war on people who aren't making

war on you because that means you're an asshole. So the United Methodist Church held that the just war theory was valid. And upon hearing that, Dubb went immediately to some great claverin meeting of the Southern Baptist cult, where they said, oh, sure, sure, Dub you? Go ahead. Murder the hell out of them Iraqis. They're brown? And besides that, Peter had a sword. say that means that jesus wasn't one of them panty wastes he wasn't a liberal peter had a sword you know oblivious oblivious to that passage that says and jesus said put up thy sword into his place

for those that live by the sword shall die by the sword and well w sent the whole bunch of marines and army folk and whatnot and metaphorically speaking. Everything old is new again.

Oh, and by the way, the reason I'm trying to do this port shoulder this evening and get it on the smoker in the morning is because it's going to pour the rain on Saturday.

and ick and so it's hard to fire up the smoker in the middle of a downpour plus the shoulder I got was on manager's special which means it has a limited shelf life in my refrigerator so thanks for the forbearance there

maybe I'll post some pictures of the food porn if the first shoulder of the season turns out as yummy as I hope it does and of course if whalehead dead bear, Vosh bear brainworm lamprey approaches you babbling about how we're going to have, I'm going to pull over here and cut out this raccoon penis.
